'Addictive algorithms': India plans to ban online games played with money
India's government plans to ban online games played with money, a proposed bill showed on Tuesday, in what would be a heavy blow for an industry that has attracted billions of dollars of foreign investment. Citing psychological and financial harm it says can be caused by such games, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025 says that no person "shall offer, aid, abet, induce or otherwise indulge or engage in" the offering of online money games and such services. The 13-page bill, which has not yet been made public but has been reviewed by Reuters, describes an online money game as one played by a user by depositing money in expectation of winning monetary and other enrichment. The Indian market for such gaming is set to be worth $3.6 billion by 2029, venture capital firm Lumikai says. Endorsements by top Indian cricketers and other marketing efforts have boosted appeal and investor interest of real money gaming apps such as the popular fantasy cricket games operated by startups Dream11 and Mobile Premier League. Dream11 commands a valuation of $8 billion while Mobile Premier League is valued at $2.5 billion, PitchBook data shows. The Indian government has long been concerned about how such games are addictive. India's IT ministry, which has drafted the bill, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. MPL and Dream11 declined to comment. In fantasy cricket games on Dream11, users create their teams by paying as little as 8 rupees (10 US cents), with a total prize pool of 1.2 million Indian rupees ($14,000). The apps become more popular during the Indian Premier League season, one of the world's most popular cricket tournaments. The bill states that anyone who offers such money games could face a jail term of up to three years and a fine. "Such games often use manipulative design features, addictive algorithms ... while promoting compulsive behaviour leading to financial ruin," the bill said.

Gill rewarded for Test performance as India eye Asia Cup glory in UAE
After being left out of three previous series in the shortest format, Test skipper Shubman Gill was on Tuesday named in the T20 squad as India set sights on Asia Cup glory ahead of next year's T20 World Cup. Gill, 25, returned to the 15-man squad as deputy to skipper Suryakumar Yadav, thanks to the stellar role he played with the bat in the recent Test series against England. The top-order batsman scored 754 runs as India's relatively young squad fought from behind to square the five-match series 2-2. The eight-nation Asia Cup (September 9-28) in the UAE will be the first major event in the build-up to next year's T20 World Cup in India in February and March. "We obviously see some leadership qualities in him, and his form in England was what we were hoping for. He exceeded all our expectations, which is a great sign when there's so much pressure as captain," chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar said in Mumbai. Suryakumar said he was happy to have Gill in the squad as he did not get too many opportunities in the past. "Last time when he (Gill) played T20 for India, post T20 World Cup when we went to Sri Lanka - not Zimbabwe - when I was leading, he was the vice-captain," Suryakumar said. "So that's where we started a new cycle. After that, he got busy with all the Test series, and he didn't get an opportunity to play T20s because he was busy playing Test cricket and Champions Trophy. So he's there in the squad, and we're happy to have him." The Asia Cup will begin on September 9 with defending champions India set to face hosts UAE a day later in Dubai in the eight-nation tournament. India and arch-rivals Pakistan have been clubbed in Group A and clash on September 14. Gill, who was named Test skipper after the retirement of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli earlier this year, last played a T20 international in July 2024. While Gill is back in the T20 team, there is no place for Yashasvi Jaiswal. "With regard to Yashasvi, it's just unfortunate again," Agarkar said. "There's Abhishek Sharma: what he's done over the last year or so - plus he can bowl a little bit - he gives us that option if required. One of these guys was going to miss out. Yashasvi just has to wait for his chance." Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah also made a comeback to the T20 ranks after opting out of two matches in England to manage his workload. Bumrah's last T20 outing was India's World Cup title win over South Africa at Barbados in June 2024. Kohli and Rohit quit T20 internationals after the triumph. Bumrah will be part of the pace attack alongside left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav lead the spin charge. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers in the side. "This is the first big tournament we are playing since the (2024) T20 World Cup," Suryakumar said. "We have played three-four bilateral series. It's a good tournament to test ourselves. After this, there are a lot of T20s - close to 20-22 T20s in total - before we play our first game in the (2026) World Cup, so I think the journey starts from the Asia Cup." Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Shubman Gill (vice-capt), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh.

Asia Cup 2025: Shubman Gill named India T20 vice-captain to complete stunning rise
India's cricket selectors gave a clear view of their plan for the future after naming Shubman Gill as vice-captain for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, which takes place in the UAE next month. India's T20 team under Suryakumar Yadav has been in sizzling form since last season, with the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson providing ample firepower at the top of the order. However, with the departures of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from two of the three formats, Gill has been fast-tracked to a senior position in the Indian team. Gill was named Test captain for the recent tour of England, where he scored a record 754 runs in a dramatic 2-2 series draw. Now Gill, already an integral part of the ODI team, has forced his way into the national T20 team owing to his great form as well. He amassed 650 runs in the IPL this year, and looks set to be anointed as the next all-format India captain. Gill's selection means there is no place for left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has a better record in the format than Gill. Jaiswal has been placed on stand-by, but might have struggled to make it to the playing XI even if selected in the main squad. With three opening options – Gill, Abhishek and Samson – India could not accommodate Jaiswal. "With regard to Yashasvi, it's just unfortunate again," chief selector Ajit Agarkar said. "There's Abhishek Sharma, what he's done over the last year or so, plus he can bowl a little bit, he gives us that option if required. "One of these guys was going to miss out, Yashasvi just has to wait for his chance." Another player who will feel hard done by is Shreyas Iyer, who did not make it to the squad despite being India's top performer in two of their past three ICC tournaments – the 2023 ODI World Cup and this year's Champions Trophy. Iyer also won the IPL as captain last year and took a new team – Punjab – all the way to this year's final. His white-ball form would normally have made him indispensable but competition for spots in this India team is intense. Test captain Gill has not played a T20 International since July last year, when he was Suryakumar's deputy on the tour of Sri Lanka. "That's where we started a new cycle," Suryakumar, who took over the T20 captaincy from Rohit Sharma after India won the world title last year, said in Mumbai. "After that he got busy with all the Test series and he didn't get an opportunity to play T20s because he was busy playing Test cricket and Champions Trophy. "So he's there in the squad and we're happy to have him." India also included Jasprit Bumrah, whose workload has been a major concern for the team; he played only three of the five Tests in England earlier this year. Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers in the side, which also includes left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The eight-nation Asia Cup begins on September 9 with defending champions India set to face hosts UAE a day later in Dubai.
